Example: pricing 4,000 sq ft, 5× per week
At a production rate of 2,000 sq ft per hour with 2 restrooms, one visit takes about 2.5 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $77 per visit or $1,667 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
Bidding tips for physical therapy clinic cleaning
- Walk the gym floor before you bid. Moving weights, steps and balance equipment to clean underneath can use more time than the square footage suggests.
- Confirm in writing who cleans treatment tables and equipment between patients. That is clinic staff; your scope is the nightly clean.
- Ask which products the clinic approves. Harsh chemicals can damage vinyl table tops, so check the manufacturer's care instructions first.
Typical physical therapy clinic cleaning scope of work
- Disinfect treatment tables, mats and stools with an EPA-registered disinfectant
- Wipe exercise equipment touch points, handles and parallel bars
- Vacuum or mop the open gym floor, moving portable equipment as needed
- Clean and sanitize restrooms, including grab bars
- Clean waiting room seating, check-in counter and door handles
- Empty regular trash and replace liners
- Clean mirrors and interior glass
